Collects and stores data

AfiAct detects heat events by measuring the activity of the cow via data collected from an ID pedometer attached to the cow’s legs.

This assists you in improving the fertility and health of your herd. AfiAct can be used as part of a complete Afimilk system or as a stand-alone heat detection module for either cows or heifers.

This heat detection method is based on scientific research showing the co-relation between increases in activity and heat events. The Pedometer counts the cow’s steps and sends the data to your computer where it is analysed to indicate cows in heat.

Pedometer Plus is another option which measures the wellbeing of individual cows and the herd by measuring rest and restlessness of individual cows and sending the data to your computer. This enables you to be well informed of their welfare and to respond early to potential health or environment issues. Pedometer Plus is the only tag in the world that monitors and improves cow welfare.

Features:• Collects and stores valuable and accurate data• 24x7 all year round heat detection• Records historic heat and lactation data of an animal• Available as a stand alone product or as a part of the Afimilk Herd Management system

An extra hand on the dairy farm

AfiSort is a powerful management tool that automatically drafts your cows based on your choice of criteria, saving you time and money and ensuring no cow is left unattended.

The computerised gate control system allows you to separate cows for veterinary checks, insemination or other purposes. On a medium or a large sized dairy farm tracking, selecting and monitoring cows for breeding, vet treatment or pregnancy can take a lot of time.

Separation of cows can be set to specific dates and time of day, according to the routine of your herd. Cows are selected for treatment according to criteria you set in your Afimilk program, or by sending a separation command directly from the dairy via the milk meter interface.

Features:• Pneumatic sorting gates• Computerised herd control• Automated selection of cows• You set the criteria• Works with AfiFarm database to select and sort cows automatically

Benefits: • Saves time and labour• Accurate and consistent sorting method • Sorts cows for breeding, health and other purposes• Ensures no cow is left unattended• Helps maintain productivity

Automatic weighing system

AfiWeigh is an AfiMilk module that automatically determines a cow’s body weight and stores it in the AfiMilk database.

The AfiWeigh system consists of one or multiple weighing platforms installed on the route cows follow when approaching or departing the milking platform. Each cow walking over the weighing platform is automatically identified and weighed.

The data downloaded into the cow’s individual database enables body weight based reports to be generated. These are an essential component in successful dairy farm management. This whole process is completed without interfering with herd traffic to and from the platform.

AfiWeigh is a decision support tool that significantly improves efficiency as well as increasing the entire production of the herd. Working in combination with other data parameters in the AfiMilk system, AfiWeigh data enables identifying cows that are late in regaining post partum weight, estimating dry matter intake and monitoring stress and health problems.

Features:• Efficient cow weighing and identifying• Connects to the Afimilk Herd Management System software• Weighs cows up to 3 times a day• Involves one or more weighing platforms

Benefits: • Cows are identified at the weighing platforms• Data stored in the Afimilk Herd Management System software every weighing for comparisons• Helps keep an eye on cow health• Helps maintain productivity
